Happy April Fools! :)

So I called my good friend this morning and told her I was pregnant. I am a bad jokster - I could only let it go on for like 5 minutes. There ya go - I did my April Fools joke! I would love to hear about any you all have pulled. Things like that can be really funny...oh, and no joke...Happy Birthday to Ginny my sister-in-law! Poor thing always gets the brunt of April Fools on her big day!

So around here, it is that time of year...yardwork, landscaping, picnics. I love this time of year. Days where I often think of California and am envious that they have this weather almost year round. Stacy, I just imagine you guys outside all the time! We have spent every night and weekend outside for the past two weeks. LOVE IT! We are in the process of working on our backyard. Landscaping, playground building, etc... I will admit, that is a very liberal use of the word WE. Brian is working so hard! I cannot wait to show before and after pics. Matthew LOVES to be outside as usual. He found the dogs water bowl. Oh so fun! He was proud of himself as he splashed and played in the water.

Brian is in the process of building Matthew's playground! Okay, so it is a little big for a one year old, but it his ONE YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY gift from Mom and Dad. I cannot believe he turns 1 in 2 weeks. This year has flown by! He already loves it...swinging, just walking around it and looking at it all. And he LOVES the slide. More pics to come of the action on the playground. It is looking great. Good job Dad.







And a little side note...I turned 30 last week! Thanks to my friends and family that loved me SO well! IT was honestly the BEST birthday I have ever had - ever!! And of course, I forgot my camera at home! No blog material to show for all the work they did and all the fun that was had! SO sad! If anyone has pics, please send them on to me! :)
